CSA Question #94: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Two departments (HR Onboarding and Facilities) have come to you, asking for a way for employees to request event room set up services. The requirements are the same for the form and the task routing to the Facilities' assignment group. - For HR, the item will be used primarily for the Onboarding coordinators, for employee orientation sessions. - For Facilities, the item will be used for anyone in the company who needs room set up services. However, both departments have their own service catalogs. What do you do, to support these requirements?

Options

• ACreate one Catalog Item for HR Event Room Set Up and one for Facilities Event Room Set Up;
• BCreate one Catalog Item for Event Room Set Up; then publish to both Catalogs.
• CCreate one Catalog Item for Event Room Set Up; then publish to the Parent Catalog, which is
• DCreate one Catalog Item for Event Room Set Up; then use ACLs to control access.

Explanation

To support identical service requirements across multiple departmental catalogs efficiently, a single catalog item should be created and published to a central 'Parent Catalog'.

Common mistakes.

• A. Creating duplicate catalog items for the exact same service, form, and task routing would lead to unnecessary redundancy and increased maintenance effort.
• B. While technically possible, publishing separately to 'both Catalogs' is less efficient than publishing to a central 'Parent Catalog' that serves as a single source for multiple departmental catalogs.
• D. Using ACLs primarily controls access to an item rather than defining its availability across multiple catalogs; publishing to a shared catalog is the primary method for making it available.
